For legislation relative to physician assistant non-competes. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill aims to prohibit non-compete agreements for physician assistants in the state of Massachusetts. Specifically, it amends the state's laws to state that any contract or agreement that restricts a physician assistant's right to practice in a certain geographical area or for a certain period after the termination of their professional relationship shall be void and unenforceable. This is intended to give physician assistants more flexibility and mobility in their careers after leaving a particular employer or partnership.
